American submachineguns thread

>Military users of the M1928A1 Thompson submachine gun
had complaints about the "L" fifty-round drum magazine; the British Army officially criticised "their excessive weight, the rattling sound they made" and shipped thousands back to the U.S. in exchange for box magazines. In contrast, the "XX" twenty-round box magazine was light and compact, it tended not to rattle, and could be inserted with the bolt safely closed. In the field, some soldiers taped two "XX" magazines together in what would be known as "jungle style" to speed magazine changes. The concept of welding two box magazines face-to-face was carried over with the UD 42 submachine gun.

For some reason Oregon makes all of America's enhanced capacity submachine guns

Still the ultimate SMG

Controllable, simple as picking your nose, so cheap the ammo is more expensive, virtually impossible to break. Automatic pistol caliber firepower for literal pennies.

Owen did all that, and came with a factory proto-Rhodesian camo finish

Yeah, I live 20 miles away from Calico HQ. Most people out here love guns and would probably recognize these from movies but I doubt anyone knows we make them nearby

I've identified the problem

Imagine actually complaining that a gun is too loud because it rattles

Not to defend the bong, but a rattle could give away a soldier's position if he's trying to be quiet. I'd just ask them to fix the drum, but that's on the bong and their fear of defensive capacity.

You know the US also dropped the drums in favor of stick mags right?

They were unreliable, and difficult to load. Not only was inserting rounds into the drum slow and involved, but inserting the drum into the carbine was too. Drums had to be inserted sideways, and the bolt had to be charged (which also made them less safe, due to the open bolt design).

Not as long as we have the politics of today, we won't.

Were it so easy.

But what about the politics of tomorrow?
